Unexpected auger movement may cause personal injury. Before servicing, repairing or inspecting the snow
thrower, disengage the auger control. Stop the engine and remove the ignition key to prevent unintended start
up.
Cleaning the engine
WARNING
Accumulation of debris around the muffler could cause a fire. Inspect and clean before every use.
NOTE
Do not spray the engine with water to clean it because the water could contaminate the fuel. Using a garden
hose or pressure washing equipment can also force water into the muffler opening. Water that passes through
the muffler can enter the cylinder and cause damage.
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Periodically remove dirt
build-up from engine.
Lubrication
Lubricate the pivot points on the control handle and the extension spring at the end of the control cable with a
light oil once every season and before the snow thrower is put into storage at the end of the season
